Abstract

Background: The site of Jagged/Serrate ligand recognition by Notch is unknown. Results: Two critical residues involved in an intramolecular hydrophobic interaction across the central sheet of EGF12 form a ligand-binding platform. Conclusion: The ligand-binding region is adjacent to a Fringe-sensitive residue involved in modulating Notch activity. Significance: The results have implications for understanding receptor/ligand recognition, Notch regulation by O-glycosylation, and the development of paralogue-specific antibodies.
